“A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases, it will never pass into nothingness, but still will keep.”

- John Keats

Caffco International has sought to bring beauty to its customers since it began in 1950 as a retail florist shop in Montgomery, Alabama. James “Jimmy” L. Thompson Sr. and Sandy Woodman began a business that has grown over the course of 74 years into an international corporation encompassing retail, wholesale distribution, importing, international trading and manufacturing.

our story

It all began when a salesman came into the flower shop with a new product, silk millinery flowers. A young Jimmy Thompson saw a great opportunity for business and agreed to take all of the salesman’s product in return for the names of his sources. The salesman surely had his day made, and Jimmy quickly took a chance and bought a ticket to Asia to meet these manufacturers. The venture started humbly with the company simply importing from Hong Kong.

Then, in the 1970s, expansion occurred when Caffco began manufacturing our own plastic (later silk) flowers in Hong Kong. Caffco built their first facility in the Philippines in 1979, but then moved into China in the small town of Huidong in 1986.

Our wholly-owned factories focus on home décor, gifts, and holiday product.

Approximately 80% of our products are sold in the US with the balance to Europe and Asia. Caffco functions as a privately-held corporation now growing under the leadership of second and third-generation family management. We are immensely proud of Caffco International, and our humble beginnings in a flower shop in Montgomery, Alabama.
